Sex, secrets, scandals, schemes... and that's just in the first episode. And so goes Tyler Perry's newest series for OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, If Loving You Is Wrong. While loosely inspired by Perry's feature film dramedy from this past spring, The Single Moms Club--even retaining one of its stars, Zulay Henao, in a rebooted rework of her same role--the prolific multimedia mogul's latest small screen offering is more in line with his breakout hit for the network, the saucy primetime soap The Haves and Have Nots, which will premiere its third season in January 2015. The social media watercooler conversation will only continue, if not intensify, with this new series, given just how wrong the loving gets in only the first few minutes of the new show's opening hour--and the shockwaves of repercussions across a wide entanglement of various couples can and will only grow as the drama progresses, especially with so many of the people in the same neighborhood.
